Concerned Bartender Takes Away Pete Hegseth’s Security Clearance
ARLINGTON, VA—Expressing unease with his customer’s obvious level of inebriation, local bartender Benny Waller confirmed Friday that he had been forced to take away Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s security clearance. “Look, buddy, you’re in no condition to be getting behind a desk at the Defense Department right now,” the proprietor of local dive bar the Anchor reportedly […]

Musk’s supporters believe that, through tech wizardry and sheer willpower, he’s slashing the federal deficit in a way that has eluded politicians for years. But this narrative has a glaring flaw: The Economist’s review of official data shows that his efforts have scarcely made a dent in spending.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted.
Yet somehow Musk isn't.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

democrats discovered the power of polling in the 90s under clinton and in the next 30 years convinced themselves that they can't do anything unless the polls "say they can." they give up on the notion that they can actually tweak public opinion via... leadership.

So they can say

I am not a white woman and I’m past the point of trying to reach them. Not my ministry. White women need to take care of their own house. They need to do the work of reaching their friends and family members.

Someone needs to talk to white women. That someone is not Imani Gandy. Not her ministry.
White women need to talk to their friends and family. And stop excusing them with “they voted for Tr*mp but they’re really a good person.”

people are telling me that I need to speak to WW in a way they can relate to because 54% of WW voted for Trump.
The Handmaid's Tale premiered in 2017. The majority of WW voters in 2020 and 2024 voted Trump.
Time to let go of the idea that it is nonwhite people's responsibility to hold WW's hand.

Please stop comparing everything to the Handmaid’s Tale. The Handmaid’s Tale was a story centered on a white woman who clearly was middle to upper middle class. That is not going to be the tale of the primary poor people of color who will bear the brunt of these policies in this country. Stop it.

the thing people are clumsily sniffing towards is that fascism has its own distinctive pattern of *ideation* (how beliefs are formed rather than just the beliefs themselves) — the fascist worldview feels like delusion because it's not built on factual knowledge at all, but that is done *on purpose*
